Prolog to SU-METAL's Birthday Celebration 2

Prologue to SU-METAL's Birthday Celebration on 2013 Dec. 21st

The Second Impact. It was in the winter of 1997.
It was the birth of a new warrioress who transcends the law of nature, "SU-METAL".
Charged with the mission of the Metal Resistance, in exchange for her own life,
she waged a battle in the legendary "special night of fifteen".
Executing the Metal Resistance in many music festivals in 2013,
SU-METAL made the legends one after another.
Before the birth of a new goddess, she returned beside the holy mother.
The holy mother said,
"A soul is repeated. Return to me, tracing your memory..."

Notes

The BGM is an arrangement of Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance #1" a.k.a. "Land of Hope and Glory". It was playbacked also in Legend "D" & "1999" for SU-METAL's & YUIMETAL's Birthday Celebration.

The "Second Impact" is the fictional meteorite impact happening on 2000 Sep. 13 in the anime "Neon Genesis EVANGELION". SU-METAL's birth may have made an impact equal to it.

This "kotowari" means "logos" of the ancient philosophies rather than mere "physical laws" of the world. I dropped "kono yo no" (= of this world) since "the law of nature of this world" seems redundant.

"--- to hikikae ni" is equivalent to "in exchange for ---", but both sound strange here. Probably 'he' wanted to mean "--- o gisei ni shite" which is equivalent to "by the sacrifice of ---" or something.
